Improving polyketide biosynthesis by rescuing the translation of truncated mRNAs into functional polyketide synthase subunits by Yan Liu, Chaoyi Song, Qingwen Cui, Hongluan Sun, Chanjuan Jiang, Ruofei Guo, Ruoting He, Zhen Li, Ji Luan, Hailong Wang

“…To understand the transcriptional and translational characteristics of these large genes, here we split the 13-kb busA gene, encoding a 456-kDa three-module PKS for butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis, into three smaller separately translated genes encoding one PKS module in an operon. Expression of the native and split busA genes in Streptomyces albus reveals that the majority ( >93%) of PKS mRNAs are truncated, resulting in a greater abundance of and a higher synthesis rate for the proteins encoded by genes closer to the operon promoter. …”

Systematic protein–protein interaction mapping for clinically relevant human GPCRs by Kate Sokolina, Saranya Kittanakom, Jamie Snider, Max Kotlyar, Pascal Maurice, Jorge Gandía, Abla Benleulmi‐Chaachoua, Kenjiro Tadagaki, Atsuro Oishi, Victoria Wong, Ramy H Malty, Viktor Deineko, Hiroyuki Aoki, Shahreen Amin, Zhong Yao, Xavier Morató, David Otasek, Hiroyuki Kobayashi, Javier Menendez, Daniel Auerbach, Stephane Angers, Natasa Pržulj, Michel Bouvier, Mohan Babu, Francisco Ciruela, Ralf Jockers, Igor Jurisica, Igor Stagljar

“…To obtain a global view of GPCR‐mediated signaling and to identify novel components of their pathways, we used a modified membrane yeast two‐hybrid (MYTH) approach and identified interacting partners for 48 selected full‐length human ligand‐unoccupied GPCRs in their native membrane environment. The resulting GPCR interactome connects 686 proteins by 987 unique interactions, including 299 membrane proteins involved in a diverse range of cellular functions. …”
